Library of expert validated exploits for safe and effective pen tests
Exploit development can be an advanced penetration testing skill that takes time to master. Additionally, when on a job, pen testers often don’t have the resources to create a new exploit. Many resort to searching for and using pre-written exploits that have not been tested and must go through the timely effort of quality assurance testing in order to ensure they are secure and effective.
Core Impact users can save time by finding all the up-to-date exploits they need in one place. We provide a robust library of exploits designed to enable pen testers to safely and efficiently conduct successful penetration tests. Whether written by our own internal team or by a third party like ExCraft, you can trust they have been thoroughly tested and validated by our experts.
The universe of vulnerabilities is huge and not all of them represent the same risk for the customers. Vulnerabilities do not all have the same level of criticality. Some may be easily exploitable by a low-level user, while others may not be exploitable at all. To increase the efficiency of the attacks and the quality of the exploits provided, the Core Impact team has developed selection criteria to prioritize its analysis and implementation. We determine which exploits warrant creation based on the following questions:
What are the most critical attacks from the attacker’s perspective?
What new vulnerabilities are more likely to be exploited in real attacks?
What exploits are the most valuable for Core Impact?
Once an exploit is approved, its priority order considers the following variables:
Vulnerability Properties: CVE, disclosure date, access mechanism and privileges needed.
Target Environment Setup: OS, application prevalence, version and special configurations needed.
Value Provided to Core Impact: Customer request, usage in multiple attacks, allows the installation of an agent, etc.
Technical Cost vs. Benefit: An analysis weighing the resources needed to build an exploit with the internal and external knowledge gained in its creation.
Each one of these variables has a different weight and provides a ranking of the potential exploits to be developed. Following those criteria, the top of the list would contain, for example, a vulnerability on Windows (most popular OS) that can be exploited remotely, without authentication and that provides super user privileges.
Correspondingly, a vulnerability on an application that is rarely installed, needs special configurations, and requires User Interaction, would be at the bottom.

Exim string_format Buffer Overflow Exploit
The internal string handling functions of the Exim software contain a function called string_format(). The version of this function included with Exim versions prior to 4.70 contains a flaw that can result in a buffer overflow. This module exploits the vulnerability to install an agent. Additionally, this module also attempts to exploit the Alternate Configuration Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Exim (CVE-2010-4345). If the second exploit is successful, the agent is installed with root privileges.
This module exploits a vulnerability in ContentMan.dll included in the HP Photo Creative application. The exploit is triggered when the CRecord() method processes a long string argument resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow.

Cisco WebEx Player WRF Stack Overflow Exploit
Cisco WebEx Player is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow when handling specially crafted .WRF files. This module exploits that vulnerability in order to deploy an agent.
VideoSpirit Pro is prone to a buffer overflow when parsing a .VISPRJ project file that contains an overly long "MP3" value. The vulnerability is caused due to a wrong check of the data before it is passed to strcpy(). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted .VISPRJ file.
Microsoft Windows Fax Cover Page Editor Double Free Memory Corruption Exploit
Microsoft Windows Fax Cover Page Editor is prone to a double-free memory-corruption vulnerability. WARNING: This is an early release module. This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations. Since this module is not the final version it may contain bugs or have limited functionality and may not have complete or accurate documentation.
The read-only flag is not correctly copied when a mbuf buffer reference is duplicated. When the sendfile system call is used to transmit data over the loopback interface, this can result in the backing pages for the transmitted file being modified, causing data corruption. This data corruption can be exploited by an local attacker to escalate their privilege by carefully controlling the corruption of system files. It should be noted that the attacker can corrupt any file they have read access to.
This module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in the tmtdi.sys driver of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security and OfficeScan products. The vulnerable driver trusts a dword passed from user mode via IOCTL 0x220404, and interprets it as a function pointer without performing validations. This vulnerability allows unprivileged local users to execute code with SYSTEM privileges. This update adds support for the Trend Micro OfficeScan product, as well as support for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 platforms.

Golden FTP Server PASS Buffer Overflow Exploit
This vulnerability on installations of Golden FTP Server is due to a boundary error with the handling of passwords. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via the use of overly long, specially-crafted passwords passed to the affected server.
VideoCharge Studio VSC File Buffer Overflow Exploit
Video Charge Studio is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing a malicious VSC files with a long Filename value field.

Adobe Reader Font SING Table Buffer Overflow Exploit
Adobe Acrobat and Reader have a buffer overflow error in the "CoolType.dll" module when processing a .PDF document containing an overly long field in a SING (Smart Independent Glyphlets) table within a TrueType font.
This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the Novell iPrint Client by passing an overly long 'printerUri' parameter to the GetDriverSettings method of the iPrint Client ActiveX component.
Nokia Multimedia Player NPL File Buffer Overflow Exploit
Nokia Multimedia Player is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data via a crafted .NPL file.

TinyWebGallery Remote Code Execution Exploit
This module exploits a TinyWebGallery local file-include vulnerability because TinyWebGallery fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. The module takes advantage of the logging capabilities of the attacked software to remotely execute arbitrary code.
Amaya Web Browser BDO HTML TAG Buffer Overflow Exploit Update
This module exploits a vulnerability caused by boundary errors in Amaya Web Browser within the processing of a BDO HTML tag that has an overly long DIR attribute, allowing an attacker to cause a stack overflow in order to execute arbitrary code. This update fixes an issue when using the option "Generate File".
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS10-073) Update 3
This update adds support to Impact Professional 11.0i This module exploits a vulnerability on "win32k.sys" when a keyboard layout is loaded by the kernel.
Microsoft Windows Win32k Keyboard Layout Vulnerability Exploit (MS10-073) Update 2
This update adds support to Microsoft Windows 2003, Vista and 2008. This module exploits a vulnerability on "win32k.sys" when a keyboard layout is loaded by the kernel.
Landesk Gateway Web Interface Command Injection Exploit
The LANDesk web application does not sufficiently verify if a well-formed request was created by the user whose browser submitted the request. Using this flaw an external remote attacker can use a Cross-site Request Forgery attack via a user with a LANDesk session to run arbitrary code using the gsbadmin user (that is the user running the web-server), the gsbadmin user has sudo privileges.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting.
VLC Media Player wintab32 DLL Hijacking Exploit Update
VLC Media Player is prone to a vulnerability that may allow execution of wintab32.dll if this dll is located in the same folder as a .MP3 file. This update adds CVE number and makes exploit compatible with the last WebDav version.
